Long-kicking Crow Paul Seedsman put his hand up for a senior recall with his most complete performance since returning from a long-term groin injury. The 25-year-old broke the lines to collect a team-best 29 disposals along with eight marks and six inside 50ms.

Seedsman also kicked Adelaide’s opening goal of the game with a trademark long bomb in the first term.

Young defender Tom Doedee battled bravely in Adelaide’s under-siege defence. The 20-year-old claimed a match-high six intercept marks, including several courageous efforts, and collected 23 disposals across half-back as he continues to hunt an AFL debut.

Harrison Wigg (25 possessions, six clearances) and Jordan Gallucci (24 possessions, seven tackles) never gave up, while Myles Poholke continued to show promise in his role as a strong-marking mid/forward.

Young onballer Matthew Signorello looked dangerous in the opening half, but suffered a concussion late in the second term and did not feature after half-time.
